Kind of confused to what you're talking about.

Judging by that 1 picture. I would just use a self tapping sheet metal screw..

Uh, keep in mind I don't really know what I'm talking about... but if it's just the top of the rocker panel cover thing on the door, mine was coming off at the other end and I thought it would be a big deal to fix it, but if it is what i'm thinking it is, they just kinda sit in a groove... So I dunno try getting underneath it and checking that out and see if it just needs to be set back in the track thing it should be in. Uhh... yeah.

DO NOT USE A SCREW!!!!
pull it back as far as you can, scrape the old material off, or use a rubber wheel (sticker remover) to get the old dirt and tape off. A flat razor blade will also work for this but get it as clean as possible. Any left overs you can go over with some Laquer thinner or equalivalent. Go to the parts store and get your self some 3M double sided trim tape. Whatever width you feel will work, clean the surface with an alcohol wipe and dry with a lint free towel. Lay your tape on, push it firmly back onto the door and hold it solid for about 2 minutes or so. After that it can hurt to put some electrical tape on the corners to hold it tight for a day or say

It looks like more than the molding has been clipping your front fender... or maybe its just the pic. Anyways... my passenger door was clipping the front fender and after time it eventually grabbed the whole fender and would not shut. (of course the ex couldnt get it to shut and kept trying damaging it more) I ended up replacing the door hinges and now good as new. Swapped out the driver's side too just in case. There was excessive play on the bottom door hinge after I removed the bad one, the other had minor, and the replacements had ZERO!
If you open your door to the first stopping point and gently try to move the door up and down near the latch. If it moves i'd recommend replacing atleast the bottom hinge, if not you're golden
